"We are playing pretty well," said Coach Chris
Miller. "When we get good pitching and play good defense we
win ball games."

Milroy 10, Milan 2

walking 4. Austin Skoblik pitched the rest of the sixth inning
and gave up no runs on no hits while walking one hitter. Nick

VFW battles with one-sided losses

The Tracy VFW continued to struggle last week,
losing two one-sided games.

Granite Falls beat Tracy 19-8 Tuesday, while
Olivia pounded the team 19-3 Friday. Their season record is now
1-11 for the season.

Against Granite Falls on June 11, Tracy managed
to score often enough so the game was not stopped by the 10-run
rule. The VFW team picked up a run in ech of the second and third
innings and added 4 more runs in the fifth and 2 more in the
seventh to get their 8 runs. Granite Falls got 2 runs in the
second and 4 in the third but it was 6 runs in the fourth inning
and 7 more in the sixth that did the most damage.

The Panthers entered the game short several
players, forcing the team to use several non-pitchers on the
mound.

Jim Campbell honored for coaching at
Plainview

A 1966 Tracy High School graduate was inducted into the
Plainview High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

Jim Campbell, a teacher and coach at Plainview, was one of 12
charter members named to the hall of fame.

When you have coaches like Mr. Campbell...you learn
about a lot more than wrestling, said Mark Krier, a
three-time wrestling champion at Plainview. I am going to
be a father soon and I only hope that I can instill those values
into my child.

Campbell was an assistant wrestling coach at Plainview from
1971-73, before serving as the school's head coach from 1974-85.
Under his direction, Plainview won 13 conference championships,
six district titles, and wrestled for the regional championship
three times. Campbell-coached teams won the region once, and lost
to the eventual state champion by two points twice in regional
finals.

The Tracy native was named to the Minnesota Wrestling Hall of
Fame in 1989. Jim Campbell is the son of Hollie and the late Ida
Campbell of rural Tracy.
